"Get a room!" yelled a teenager cycling past.
They sprang apart, both a little embarrassed. "I think that might be a good idea," Julia said with a smile. "Sure, um…your place or mine?" he said hesitantly.
Julia looked down rather pointedly. "I don't think you should be out in public view in your current condition. We'd better stay here," she said seriously. Steven was mortified and covered his groin with his hands. "I'm beginning to think you secretly enjoy embarrassing me," he said in exasperation.
"Well I think you secretly enjoy it too," she said smugly. "Now, are you going to invite me inside or not?"
Steven unlocked the door and they went inside. He offered Julia a drink but she shook her head. She kept her arms around his neck. "Thank you for the roses," she said softly.
"You're welcome." He kissed her forehead.
"You know what red roses symbolize, don't you?" she prompted him.
"Um…passion?" he guessed.
"That's right. The roses were a promise, and I intend to collect," she said in a sultry voice.
"Oh," he swallowed nervously. Then she kissed him again. She was too impatient to hold back this time. She undid his shirt buttons one by one as they kissed. Then she smoothed it back from his shoulders and started trailing kisses down his chest. His skin was hot and smooth and smelled absolutely delicious.
"Oh god," he said when she got down to his belt. She smiled and stood up to kiss him on the mouth again. Then she took hold of his belt and pulled him down on to the couch on top of her. He adjusted to the new position and began to kiss the soft skin of her collarbone. His blond curls tickled her face but she didn't mind. Steven's hand hesitantly cupped her breast through the thin material of her dress. "Is this ok," he asked huskily.
Julia smiled at his consideration. "Yes, that's very ok," she murmured. She kissed him again and pulled him close, enjoying the weight of his larger body on hers.
Steven all but drove her to distraction with his gentle touch and enthusiastic kisses. Julia began to feel an unbearable ache in the base of her stomach and she needed him to touch her, now. She lifted a knee and her dress fell back, exposing a long length of thigh. She gently took his hand and placed it under the dress, on the waistband of her panties. Steven stared into her eyes and slowly explored the new territory.
